>Description:
there have been several posts of this issue on the mailing lists, with no reports submitted, and no fix ever announced... some CD-ROMS (particularly those in dell laptops, but this is not limited to dells, nor even laptop cd-roms) get the following errors in your dmesg, and are not recognized (full output of dmes available upon request from coffee@fatburrito.com):

atapci0: <Intel ICH2 ATA100 controller> port 0xbfa0-0xbfaf at device 31.1 on pci0
...... snip ......
ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded
ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad0: 9590MB <HITACHI_DK23BA-10> [19485/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33

>How-To-Repeat:
Not sure... is not a problem on all laptops with the identical configuration, nor is it a consistemnt problem on 2 or more of any identical machine.
>Fix:
Unknown.

 I am also seeing this on -current on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop with 
 DVD drive.  The OS was originally 4.4-RELEASE, installed from bootable 
 cd in that drive.  A verbose boot is posted at:

Does this still occur in more recent releases?

State-Changed-Why:  

Thanks for the quick reply! There have been a lot of ATA changes 
since FreeBSD 4.4, so there is little point in keeping this open 
without information about how this hardware behaves in a more recent 
-STABLE. If you do get a chance to test it and the problem is still 
there then the PR can of course be re-opened.
